TRIPLES LIGHT AS AIR.
Peculiar Phases of Insanity Among Jeal-
Gus Women.

1t is an astonishing fact that those
who have positively not the slightest
reason for doubling their husbands are
the most Jealous.
A lady and her husband went out to
dinner, and opposite to where the gen
tleman sat was a young lady. Well.
would YOU believe that the dreadful
man actually committed the offense of
raising his eyes off his plate and look
ing straight In front of him? Presently
a startling change came over his de-
Iightful partner. She got first red and
then white. pursed her amiable mouth
up and tosse'i her dainty head about,
and when the couple returned home she
burst into tears of jealousy and rage,
reproaching her husband In no meas
ured tones II saw YOU staring at that
creature she sobbed, land there she
was making eyes at you, the hussy,"
etc,
Il am going TO discharge my COVER
ness" remarked Mrs. Phule to her
bosom friend.
.Why?'' asks the friend. .She seems
such nice, quiet, modest girl. and APP
pears to be much devoted to the chill
dren."
.'Artful creature" remarked Mrs.
Phule. ''She is actually setting her cap
at my husband. She looks at him. and
only Sunday when she dined with us, he
asked her twice to have duck, and
actually opened the door for her when
she left the room. So it is high time

There was crimei Poor Phule be-
haved with the common politeness of a
gentleman to a girl whose position in
his house appealed to his honor and
chivalry.
If man should inadvertently tell his
wife that there is rather nice-looking Q

enough when he is talking to his beau

silent, of course the wretched man is
/ thinking of her. Ii he writes. he is car

The outraged lady hurls scathIng re
marks at his head; she designates the
unsuspecting girl as an artful hussy, or
any other choice epithet which may
come to her tongue. She INDUCES in

everything to invite mirth. dancing and
music in this sprishtly ballroom. The
architecture is the famous Adams style,

carved frieze, in relief, with gilt out
lines, which by an effective device run
into the ceiling. so that the delicate and
beautiful tracerv of flowers and vines in
relief on pure white ground, have a

SELFISHNESS.
various Forms of 1t as Displayed In vari-
ouS People.


Greed is not entirely confined to ami
mails of the porcine breed. There are
various breeds of human hogs which. in
point of seltishness. are far ahead of
those unfortunate creatures that are
mentioned in the New Testament as
having run violently down a steep place
into the sea and perished in the pillows.
Greed. or avarice, strictly speaking.
is not penal otfense. Byron remarks
cynically: For a good old gentlemanly
vice think Ill take up with avarice."
And vet there is very little fun in hoard
ing up money. 1t is almost impossible
TO take any of it with us when we die
and go to heaven. ''Shrouds." to use
the impressive words of some preacher,
whose name we have forgotten
''Shrouds have no pockets. This is q
fact, we presume, although we have
never critically examined many shrouds
To see if they had pockets or not 1t
would hardly be in good form for per-
son who is invited TO funeral to
monkey around the remains searching
for pocket in the shroud merely TO
CRAFTY Idle curiosity. Such person
would not he invited second time to a
funeral Now that we come to think
we fail to per, Give why a shroud should
have a pocket.
But we have drifted away from our
text which was ayarice or greed.
There is such thing as mistaken
avarice. where IA man, in an effort to
save dime, loses dollar. An illustra-
ton of this Is to be found in the case of
the negro during slave times, who. hav-
ing bought hat, put it under his coat
10 prevent it being rained on. When
asked why he did not keep his hat on
his head. he replied: DE hats mine;
bought it wild my own money. Head
belongs to massa; let him take keer of
his own property"
This logic was very good. so far rs it
went, but when tine selfish negro caught
cold in his head from exposure and died
of neuralgia in great agony, he regret
ted his narrow minded selfish policy.

"I Have a Wife and Homo"

Mr. Thoebe. the workingman who so
nearly captured Speaker Carlisle's seat
in Congress in Kentucky, is not tinct-
ured with the Socialistic vagaries.
When asked by a reporter what he
thought of the Anarchists and Social
lists he replied. simply but effectively:
Il have wife and home Any man
who owns properly can have no
patience with such doctrines. Every
American citizen should discountenance
anything which tends to disrupt his
government and institutions"
There spoke the true American work
ingman as distinguished from the alien
visionaries who seek to transplant some
form of Communism into the United
States. There are in this country TO-
100000 men who, like Mr.. Thoebe,
..own a home" There are over 3,000.-
600 depositors in savings banks, repre-
senting accumulations to the amount of
over S1,o00,OO0. .000 And there are
millions more whose honestly-earned
savings are invested in some occupa-
ton whereby they earn a comfortable
living and increase their property. No
country in the world affords such OPP
poriunities as does this for poor men to
secure homes and property. And with
the interest of these men in their wives,
home, children, and property there need
be no fear that Communistic or Social
istic ideas will gain Roadway here,
however vigorously the masses may pro-
test against the interference of the
money power in government

An Aerial Cat Fight

range, are some tall trees with thick
clusters of underground. in which an
old briDdle cat makes her habitation,
and where she has raised family of
kittens Yesterday three large hawks
were seen flying over the trees. evident
" looking for prey. Presently one was
seen TO dash suddenly to the ground,
seize kitten. and make haste for her
nest in the top of tall poplar. The
crying of the kitten in its aerial flight
was distressing and pitiful, and the
mother, now frantic with grief. watch
ed the hawk with a vigilance that only
an angry eat could command. When
the hawk went To its nest with feast
for her young, the cat Immediately ran
up the tree, which was fully forty feet to
the first limb. amt IN her desperate rage
sprang at the hawk, when fearful
fight ensued. during which the cat
hawk, kitten, and young hawks were
precipitated TO the yIound, lighting and
squalling as they fell. The sudden con-
tact with the earth caused each to break
its hold, when tue hawk flew up. only
to be shot down by guard on post

the situation, with BADLY lacerated
